Last month we announced the exciting news that LEGO had acquired the license for Lord of the Rings, as well as the upcoming Hobbit films (see our story HERE). Now thanks to Wired.com fans receive their first look at these fantastic fantasy minifigures. Note how they are all in scale, the hobbits being some of the tiniest LEGO figures I've seen.

My only question now is: When will the inevitable LEGO LOTR video game(s) be announced?
